I had an issue with the credit card used to renew a Fastmail account. Fastmail sent me emails about the issue, but it took a couple days to fix everything on my end. Even after the renew date passed my email functioned as normal, so there s

And then be stuck in the same situation: tied to one company, albeit a different one? But no, I still prefer the trackpoint: any trackpad, no matter how godly, still involves moving my hand from the keyboard down, back and forth, back and f

But then I'd have to cart around an extra keyboard! Plus I use my laptop far too often in places where it'd be uncomfortable to do so: namely me sitting somewhere with the computer on my lap.

I like them even on newer ThinkPads just as much, and I've used them on an X1 Carbon with a 4K screen (I do use Linux exclusively, so maybe it's different on Windows). One thing I have noticed is that as the trackpads have gotten

I had the (mis?)fortune of receiving a hand-me-down ThinkPad 10 or so years ago. Now I simply can't use a laptop for an extended period of time without a trackpoint. I always feel like my options for newer laptops are limited because o

They sell them to other bookstores. Or try to, anyhow, and that is not necessarily a good idea, since (especially in the used and rare bookstore world) owners often know each other. I worked at a used bookstore and a friend of the owner who

Normally yes. I worked at a large used bookstore that would do this: interior decorators, realtors, and film crews would either purchase or rent large numbers of books. Renting would be cheaper, of course, as long as the books returned in g

Plumbing strikes me as one of the very last manual jobs that will be automated, if ever. Every plumbing issue, even the most basic, is different due to the fittings and hardware being used. For example, I've been putting off hiring a p

Looks fine in Firefox for Android (with or without uBlock Origin on).

The terminology of "friar" and "monk" is often used more fluidly these days. The Carmelites are a mendicant order, so we'd normally call them friars, but members of this group clearly call themselves monks. You are

The primary sources, both chronicles, are cited in the article, reproduced in the Monumenta Germaniae Historica (a series of edited Medieval texts, known for being carefully edited). There could be issues, of course, like the original autho

Reading can be a communal and simultaneous activity. Through most of history people (well, at least I know about Europe) did not read silently. And Reading aloud clubs exist too. Really fun actually!

Their site has been annoying to use for a while now, and its slowly getting worse. I think it was last year when I found myself unable to pay bills with Firefox since it blocks certain cookies by default (and, really, I make those settings

Yeah, I'll just tell the gas company, electric company, internet provider, my bank, my elderly neighbor who can barely use a phone and I taught how to text, every restaurant I order online from, the plumber I just texted literally an h

Yes, exactly. The ability to send SMS from the Signal app has meant I've been pretty successful in getting Android users to switch to Signal. Every iOS user I know always just goes back to using iMessage. Now many of those Android user

Firefox as a snap (the default in 22.04) was so awfully slow starting up. Removed it and am using a .deb again made everything better. I'm really not sure why they pushed when there were clearly so many issues with it. Instructions to

(270) 301-5797 is related to Kentucky Route Zero. The number is found in the game, and I was pleased to see you could actually call it.

Is there a reason to not just hold the middle button to scroll with the trackpoint? Seems easier than needing to move your thumb to the touchpad.
